Amidst global efforts to address climate change and achieve sustainable development goals, the world economy is undergoing a profound ecological transition. Within agricultural development, the green transformatioin of farmer education, establishing sustainable agricultural production systems, and promoting agricultural sustainability, has emerged as a shared imperative. The United Kingdom’s approach in this domain is notably significant. Driven by market forces, technological advancement, institutional guidance, and heightened social awareness, the functional boundaries of farmer education within the UK’s green development strategy are undergoing fundamental transformation toward ecological sustainability. Through policy coordination mechanisms, curriculum innovation, industry-academia-research linkages, digital platform integration, and regionally tailored approaches, the UK has established a multidimensional implementation framework that effectively addresses green development requirements. As the nation advances its agricultural ecological transition goals, the green transformation of farmer education is evolving toward new developmental trajectories: enhanced carbon literacy training for farmers, immersive media adoption, participatory farmer-led research initiatives, and the growing prominence of micro-credentialing systems.
